Millions of hectare of rainforest are burning in Indonesia. Palm oil producers have set various blazes to obtain new land. Even the neighboring countries Malaysia and Singapur are already covered by thick, unhealthy smoke. In Central Kalimantan there are so many soot particles in the air that it can pose a danger to life. Intan, a 9 year old girl, has collapsed on her way to school and died before she arrived in hospital (She was not the only one).

Call on the Indonesian government to prosecute the arsonsists: rainforest-rescue.org

EFF: Uphold the Possibility for Strong Encryption

Certain members of Congress as well as the FBI want to force backdoors into encryption (gpg etc.). This could f.i. be achieved by a golden key causing organizations and companies having to reveal all of their precious communications towards the US-government. There is no doubt that this would open the floodgate to misuse either by government officials themselves or by criminals with sufficient technical expertise. We believe that such a bill could cause a real catastrophy towards any government critical actions as we do also engage in.
